Chapter breakdown

1 Webapp

Our goal is to deploy a basic single page application to the web, we want to make it avaiable across multiple edge locations so customer will have a fast and reliable experience

1-1 Hosting

For hosting we will be using an S3 bucket wich a cost efective and reliable object store.

1-1-1

Using the CDK create an s3 bucket inside the webapp stack file in either TypeScripr or Python

1-1-2

Using AWS CLI call the command to upload all the relevant files to the S3 bucket you created on the previous step

1-2 CDN

We will set up a Content Delivery Network to distribute static files (webapp) close to the final customer. For this task we will be leveraging CloudFront
